The following message appeared today on the Mecklenburg Co., NC list and
I thought Cathey researchers would find it of interest. I'm
particularly interested in the Henry connection because my Elizabeth
Harriet Erwin (wife of George Cathey Neill--his mother was the dau. of
Capt. George Cathey and wife Ann Price) was of Bishop/Henry descent--all
in the Mecklenburg Co. area of NC.
Note: Linda Blackwelder and Donna Johnson referenced below are both
residents of Mecklenburg Co., NC and are both longtime researchers of
these families.

Donna,
Several years ago I put information out of an old Cathey Bible on this
List.
I was able to copy this information from old bible pages that had been
taken
from an older bible and pasted into the back of another bible. This
bible
came down through the Grier family of Steele Creek. I will try to get
this
info on the Meck. Web, but in the meantime, there was an interesting
note at
the bottom of one of the pages. It states at the bottom of a list of
children's births "The above 10 children aare the offspring of George
Cathey & Frances Henry(alias) Cathey. The births listed were:
Josiah Cathey..was born May 15th 1749
Elizabeth Cathey...was born May 15 1752
Jean Cathey...was born March 27th 1754
George Cathey...was born March 10th 1756
Andrew Cathey ...was born Feb 24th 1758
Alexander Cathey..was born Sept 11th 1759
Mary Cathey...was born December 24th 1761
Frances Cathey..was born Dec 26th 1763
John Cathey ..was born Sept 25 1766
Henry Cathey was born Feb 9th 1770
Walter Carruth (a grandson born Nov 5th 1780.
(the note above was written here) then a note below that read:
Sam (Jan?) Swann was born apr 10 1781 - June 1875
The next birth's in the bible start at 1815, so these above older pages
were
pasted into the bible that started with the 1815 births.
Hope this might be some help to you.

Subject: [NCMECKLE] Cathey - Henry
George CATHEY, Jr. born c 1724 married Frances HENRY, bef 1749 (my
ancestors)
His brother John CATHEY born c 1725 married Mary HENRY
Is anyone researching the HENRY family? Need parents for Frances.
Wondering if Frances and Mary were sisters.
